New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com>: I've just started using the argparse subparser feature, and it's very nice. However, I'd love to be able to group the different subparser commands into different sections the way I can group ordinary arguments with add_argument_group().
Initially I thought just calling "parser.add_subparsers()" multiple times with different "title" values would work, but argparse doesn't currently like that - it errors out with "cannot have multiple subparser arguments". I propose that instead of treating this case as an error, argparse should treat it as a way for defining subparser groups - there would still only be a single subparser argument accepted, but the individual commands would appear grouped appropriately in the help output. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 153514 nosy: bethard, ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Allow grouping of argparse subparser commands in help output type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14037> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
